Last week I received my great grandfather's A-5 from my uncle. I was curious as to the vintage and history of the gun. According to Brownings Website the serial number shows that it is a 1950. I took it to my local gunsmith who examined it. On the Barrel is says "Browning St. Louis" but on the side of the barrel in small lettering it says Made in Belgium. On the buttstock end plate it says automatic browning with FN in the middle. He was pretty sure the gun was made in Belgium. Hopefully this helps with some of the questions.
